Samuel Smith, Jr.

It was a neck-and-neck two-person battle early on in the five-way race for the Democratic nomination for the 3rd District seat on the Lake County Board of Commissioners.

Incumbent Lake County Commissioner Michael Repay of Hammond pulled ahead in the end and will get a chance to run for the seat again in the fall after beating back a strong challenge by fellow County Councilwoman Christine Cid of East Chicago.

The race was focused between Repay and Cid, who quickly pulled in front of political newcomers David Gonzalez of Griffith, Dan Reed of Highland and Richard Aylea of Griffith with almost 80 percent of the vote.
